if u want don't start X windows you change runlevel.
for that go to console base.
Then u open file that is vi /etc/inittab.
In that file replace line no 18 id:5:initdefault:(defaults value) you want change this line as "id:3:initdefault:" . After taht you don't restart the machine just give this command init 3 ant enter then it will go to runlevel 3.
If you see current Runlevel then type command "runlevel"
After that you see your memory space command "free -m"
Then it how much memory is used currently.
ok.

that will switch your current session. the OP wants to boot straight in to runlevel 3. so thats not really a solution.
